Reform vs StandardsEducationStandards- Standards guide learning and are what students should know when they graduate (Common Core Facts, 2016)

Educational reform is seen by many very differently. While some see educational reform as a break from the standards and standardized testing, others see reform as a way to compete against other countries with testing.Standards-Common Core was created with research in order to ensure all students are ready for success after high school (Common Core Parents, 2016 )

Standards- "The Common Core focuses on developing the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills students will need to be successful." (Common Core Parents, 2016 )

Reform-Students choosing what they want to learn rather than being told what to learn encourages entrepreneurs (Zhao, 2012)Reform- Curriculum is not customized for students, but the same for all even thought every student has different interests, skills, strengths, and weaknesses (Prensky,2014)Reform- Scores show that other countries score higher in some academic areas, but these countries scored much lower on perceived entrepreneurship capabilities, so what do we want from our students? (Zhao,2012)Reform- Summerhill school does not count on teachers to develop skills, but allows freedom for students to create their own skills. (Summerhill, n.d.)Reform-"Test-oriented education" ignore the what students and societies need to be successful based on the variety of people and variety of needs. (Zhao,2012)Standards- Common Core does not require specific assessments, but the assessments are left up to the states, however, the US ranks states based on scores. (Common Core Facts, n.d.)

Standards- Common Core was created on research from leading countries in academic fields, which means the students in those countries did well on standardized tests. (Common Core facts, 2016)
